I was introduced to Nick by his then girlfriend Emma whom I met on a training course, before Missing Peace had emerged into the light of day. I attended Nick’s groups and found that his expert guidance of the peer support environment gave me a great boost along my journey to recovery – or as Nick prefers to say, discovery. I started to help out with teas and coffees, then under-studying the facilitator role. As I grew in confidence and started to shake off the worst of my depressions and anxiety, I became a fully fledged volunteer with the newly formed Missing Peace. I credit attending the peer support groups with getting the worst of my mental health challenges under control, to the extent that I have become part of the ‘fixtures and fittings’ of Missing Peace and was invited to become a Director, when the organisation was going through the process of becoming a Community Interest Company.
I have attended a small number of Emma’s Reiki sessions, which I have found really beneficial and I am hoping to undertake training with her later in the year.
I feel honoured to be working with Nick and Emma, who are the most dedicated individuals I have ever met. They are really helping to deal with the massive mental health issues experienced by people in the Keighley area.
